"Idaho Queen II one of several "Idaho Queen" vessels owned and operated by Captain Dick Rivers. Rivers received the U.S. Mail delivery contract for Hells Canyon, from Lewiston to Johnson Bar, in 1958. He was also the first licensed power boat operator to attain an outfitters and guide license for Hells Canyon. He owned and operated Rivers Navigation from 1959 until 1983, when he sold the business to Beamers Hells Canyon Tours, where we continue to operate the oldest permit to guide in the Hells Canyon in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area.
